Love hanging out with animals
Pet care experience
My family has had dogs and cats all of my childhood and friends pets in recent years. I have learned about all sorts of animal needs in the process. I have been relied on to watch older dogs, younger cats, anxious shelter dogs and pets on medication.
Reviews
Takes the time to understand our pup’s personality. Grateful for her and the extra effort she puts into taking care of our pets!
Mercedes was awesome with our dogs Koda and Parker. They loved going on walks with her and just hanging out. She kept us up to date on how things were going and was able to extend her stay when our plans changed. She even washed the sheets and tidied up the house so when we got home we could get right in bed! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.
Fantastic! Lots of communication, pictures, and extra care for our senior baby. Really appreciate the effort and time given. Highly recommend!
Mercedes watched my dog Beans on multiple occasions and was super accommodating with her training and schedule needs. Because she has a remote job, she was able to spend more time focusing on Beans and not leaving her alone to run around. Beanie has had several behavioral issues with digging through trash, chewing clothes/blankets, and peeing on the floor out of anxiety. Mercedes handled all of them with patience, diligence, and a smile.

Safety, trust & environment
When watching pets in other people's homes, I try to disrupt the pet's routines and living space as little as possible. Depending on how involving your pet might be, I am able to step in and make sure your pet is comfortable while maintaining your boundaries within your home. I want to ensure your pet is comfortable around me.
Information Mercedes S. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pet has any particular needs - exercises, dietary specifications, anxieties or any other special needs. I want to ensure that I can meet your pet's needs.
A typical day
I love to play with pets and see them explore and enjoy themselves. Since there are so many parks and trails in the area I think it's wonderful to take dogs on walks. I especially love to take dogs outdoors and let them interact with nature.

I work 2 jobs that keep me busy for half of a day. I tend to be a somewhat early riser but I'm able to stay up later if necessary for your pet's needs. I am able to sit with pets in the morning and overnight. Due to work I’m able to sit in the evenings on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.
